God's perfect law converts the soul

Appears in 50 hymnals Topics: Instructive Psalms Lyrics: 1 God's perfect law converts the soul, Reclaims from false desires; With sacred wisdom his sure word The ignorant inspires. 2 The statutes of the Lord are just, And bring sincere delight; His pure commands, in search of truth, Assist the feeblest sight. 3 His perfect worship here is fix'd, On sure foundations laid; His equal laws are in the scales Of truth and justice weigh'd. 4 Of more esteem than golden mines, Of gold refined with skill; More sweet than honey, or the drops That from the comb distil. 5 But what frail man observes how oft He does from virtue fall? O! cleanse me from my secret faults, Thou, God, that know'st them all. Scripture: Psalm 19 Text Sources: Tate and Brady's New Version

Now in the galleries of his grace

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Children instructed; Instruction in piety; Piety instructions therein Lyrics: Now in the galleries of his grace Appears the King, and thus he says, "How fair my saints are in my sight! My love how pleasant for delight!" Kind is thy language, sovereign Lord, There's heav'nly grace in every word; From that dear mouth a stream divine Flows sweeter than the choicest wine. Such wondrous love awakes the lip Of saints that were almost asleep, To speak the praises of thy name, And makes our cold affections flame. These are the joys he lets us know In fields and villages below; Gives us a relish of his love, But keeps his noblest feast above. In Paradise, within the gates, A higher entertainment waits Fruits new and old laid up in store, Where we shall feed, but thirst no more. Scripture: Song of Solomon 7:5-13

That Man Is Blest Who, Fearing God

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: Instruction Lyrics: 1 That man is blest who, fearing God, from sin restrains his feet, who will not stand with wicked men, who shuns the scorners' seat. 2 Yea, blest is he who makes God's law his portion and delight, and meditates upon that law with gladness day and night. 3 That man is nourished like a tree set by the river's side; its leaf is green, its fruit is sure, and thus his works abide. 4 The wicked, like the driven chaff, are swept from off the land; they shall not gather with the just, nor in the judgment stand. 5 The LORD will guard the righteous well, their way to Him is known; the way of sinners, far from God, shall surely be o'erthrown. Scripture: Psalm 1 Used With Tune: ST. AGNES
